According to the concept of length contraction, what happens to the length of an object as it approaches the speed of light and

then slows down, eventually coming to a stop? It is always observed as contracting. It is always observed as the same length. It is observed as expanding and then contracting back to its original length. It is observed as contracting and then expanding back to its original length.

When an object moves its length contracts in the direction of motion. The faster it moves the shorter it gets in the direction of motion.
The object in this question moves and then stops moving. So it's length first contracts and then expands to its original length when the motion stops.
The speed doesn't have to be anywhere near the speed of light. When the object moves its length contracts no matter how fast or slow it's moving.

If 20 beats are produced within a single second, which of the following frequencies could possibly be held by two sound waves tr
zhuklara [117]

The correct choice is

D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz.

In fact, the beat frequency is given by the difference between the frequencies of the two waves:

f_B = |f_1 -f_2|

In this problem, the beat frequency is f_B=20 Hz, therefore the only pair of frequencies that gives a difference equal to 20 Hz is

D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz.

Rather than ascribing the increased kinetic energy of the stone to the work of gravity, we now (when using potential energy rath
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Change/ Potential

Explanation:

Work is the amount of energy required to perform an action that is for a force to cause a displacement.

From work-energy theorem, work done by body is equal to change in its kinetic energy.

Work of gravity is basically the potential energy stored in the body due to gravity. From the law of conservation of mechanical energy, increased kinetic energy comes from the change of the potential energy of the stone.

Discuss any inventions in history which are related to magnetism by referring to Faraday disc? ​
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Faraday invented the electromagnetic rotation.

Explanation:

Faraday invented a device called electromagnetic rotation, Faraday got a rotation with magnetic force, he used a cable, mercury, and a magnet.

The cable would rotate around the magnet, this would be a beginning for the electromagnetic technology.

For example:

The Homopolar motor or called electric motor was created for Faraday's invention.

We can find electric motor in Washing machines, fans, turbines, even in motorcycles and electric cars.
